YULE December 20-22. Celebrated on the Midwinter Solstice, date varies. DARK.
		YULE Yule is celebrated at the MIDWINTER SOLSTICE and by traditional reckoning it marks the high point of Winter. The word Yule comes from the Germanic “Iul” and means “Wheel.” Yule celebrates Winter, and the rebirth of the Sun God. As Yule is the shortest day of the Year it marks the Suns low ebb, and after this the Sun will begin to grow stronger. Yule is a Solar Sabbat and is sacred to the Old God, the Lord of Winter. This ancient God has many names including Cernunnos, Odin, Harlequin, Santa Claus, and the Holly King. This God is portrayed as an old man, majestic and often jolly. Sometimes He is shown as a King in ermine trimmed robes, other times He is shown as a Jester and called the King of Fools. As the Crone is the Goddess of Death, the Old God is the Lord of Death and of the Spirit World and magic. He is the God of the forest, of animals, and of the hunt. Often He is shown with antlers or horns. In this form He is the subject of one of the oldest paintings known to exist, “Le Sorciere” a cave painting from Cro Magnon times. Yule is also known as Midwinter, and as Alban Arthan (pro; “AL-bahn AR-than”). - excerpted from the First Degree Course of the Correllian Nativist Tradition of Wicca as administered on Witchschool.com
